The new era buyer, right now, already knows all of the different properties that they want to see (or they think they do because of all the resources onine), and they don't think they have as much of a need for the real estate agent as they once did. ]]>Thu, 13 Dec 2018 19:24:00 GMThttp://www.sierramountainproperties.net/blog/communication-guaranteeQuestion: What is the number one complaint that sellers have of real estate agents? Lack of communication as to what is happening in the sale of their home. That's a reasonable complaint. the seller is paying you a large amount of money to get their home sold, and if they don't know what you are doing, it causes angst. The communication Guarantee is a program that I offer my sellers that guarantees that I will communicate with them. I will guarantee that I'm going to call the seller on a specified day of the week. If I fail to call, the seller can fire me on the spot!!]]>Mon, 10 Dec 2018 18:59:50 GMThttp://www.sierramountainproperties.net/blog/smart-seller-programThe Smart Seller Program is simply a program that I offer to my sellers that's going to allow them to sell the property themselves while its listed with me. It also comes with a menu of commission rates, and a no-hassle presentation. It provides a solution to a seller's pain if they want to sell it themselves and save money. If they sell the property, and they procure the buyer, then its 0% commission. The only thing the seller cannot do is put a For Sale By Owner sign in the front yard, my sign goes in the front yard, its a "win-Win" ]]>Sun, 09 Dec 2018 17:15:32 GMThttp://www.sierramountainproperties.net/blog/marketing-planMost agents simply don't have a marketing plan; there's nothing that separates them from everybody else, and sellers want an agent that's going to actively market their home. The seller will hire the agent that's the most aggressive. The reality is that a marketing plan with all the bells and whistles do not sell houses.The price is what sells houses. ]]>Sat, 08 Dec 2018 23:04:01 GMThttp://www.sierramountainproperties.net/blog/easy-exit-listing]]>Sat, 01 Dec 2018 22:16:15 GMThttp://www.sierramountainproperties.net/blog/sell-your-house-for-freeSo, here is my offer......If I don't sell your house in 60 days, I sell it for free. Can you believe that? Well its true. There are a few things you will need to do before I list your property. #1 Get an official appraisal, not just a market analysis from other Realtors. #2 Have your home staged #3 get a home inspection and do all repairs necessary before listing. ​If another agent brings an offer after the 60 days, they will get paid, but I wont. If you know of someone who is ready to sell, let me know!!!]]>Mon, 12 Nov 2018 18:09:09 GMThttp://www.sierramountainproperties.net/blog/staging-a-homeWhen you know an agent is bringing a client to view your home, set the stage and then leave. To be welcomed is one thing, but to be smothered by an overly talkative owner is quite another. This inhibits the buyer who wants to be polite but simply cannot relax because the presence of the owner is overpowering.#staging#fengshui#sellrealestate#sierramountainproperties#luxurypropertyexpert#johnaberg@sierramountainproperties]]>Sun, 11 Nov 2018 17:15:07 GMThttp://www.sierramountainproperties.net/blog/morning-coffee-in-the-sierra-nevadas
